How's life over there? I've moved to the 1970s. The time difference here is half-an-hour and twenty years.

I'm hoping to make it over there for birdwatching purposes at some point next year.
It's not so bad here really. Still a week-and-a-half before I start work and it's increasingly difficult to not feel out of it.

Either way, lots of lovely wildlife in Tassie. Try and get to the west coast if you can, fuck the birds it's just wonderful to see 6 foot deep moss instead of grass. It's a whole other planet there.
Also there are probably a bunch of birds around Strathgordon worth looking at. Do yourself a favour and don't visit Queenstown, your heart will break as you crest the hill.

If we end up settled here, we'll do a leisurely family trip, too, but my friend wants to get all 12 endemics in one weekend...

is that telling them you're from somewhere else gets a response of "What's wrong with (this town)?" and you won't be able to explain that you just happened to be born somewhere else.
